* Refurbishing or renovation work that involves removing the old materials, replacing springs, stuffing or cushioning as necessary, and covering with new material.
* Replacing a vinyl top, trim molding, striping tape, or door edge guards on a car or boat is included in this classification when done by employees of an employer subject to this classification.
* Selling some fabric is an incidental part of this classification. If any upholstery work is done at the shop, the entire operation is reported in classification 3808.
Exclusions:
* Manufacturing mattresses is classified in 3708;
* Manufacturing throw pillows or cushions is classified in 3802;
* Selling upholstery materials without doing upholstery work is classified in 6406.
